Jet Aviation Basel recently performed its first C-check on a Dassault Falcon 7X. The inspection was completed in conjunction with an EASy II upgrade, a satcom installation, a soft-material refurbishment, woodwork rectification and exterior painting. To keep downtime to a minimum, technicians worked in shifts throughout the entire project.

“Our ability to coordinate on-site refurbishments and upgrades during extensive maintenance checks adds further value by enabling our customers to maximize utilization of their aircraft,” said Johannes Turzer, vice president and general manager of the Jet Aviation Basel maintenance center.

It employs more than 1,600 professionals and features its own in-house design and engineering departments along with on-site cabinetry, upholstery, fiberglass and paint shops. The organization is capable of outfitting jets as large as an A380 or the 747-8 series and provides aircraft maintenance and repair services to a variety of business jets.
